Hello Everyone,
I am a fresher with over 9+ months of experience as a Data Engineer at Tata Consultancy .
I just needed some suggestions from you experienced folks.🙏
In my current project my colleagues have over 6+ years of experience and are not very supportive and scold me for unnecessary reasons, which is effecting my mental health.😔
Also I am not getting to learn anything.

No promotion for me...time to quit!
Mental picture ,Clicked ! 🤘
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

We’ve gone offsite to the hotel and watched the madness with binoculars from across the parking lot.
Kidding, but yeah I would NOT want to be onsite when they do this. Our recommendations to a client was to trim headcount in a few business units by 20%, we saw the internal “restructuring” release which said something like “blah blah blah we’ve come to the conclusion that etc etc etc"
When it’s happened on my projects, the entire firm has worked remotely the week of layoffs regardless of our role at the client.
Stay in the parking lot and take the smart ones with and get a nice referral check
Even in a downsizing you try to keep the A team and dunno the B team... Just sayin'
You're going to be on-site when this happens?
Presumably yes. Project leadership has communicated that the team must be onsite.
Do not be on site. Do not let them name drop your work. Did something similar and looked over the release. Changed the way they worded it as XYZ’s analysis showed... to “we have come to the conclusion” type language....
Not show up. We once had a PMI job where we reduced headcount at the acquired company’s SG&A functions by 70%, we worked out of the acquirer office from that point on. My SM received aggressive, bordering on threatening messages on LinkedIn.
Sounds like an EY situation 😂
Definitely don’t go in. I was at a client once where that happened and sadly no one from leadership thought to tell us not to be there. It was incredibly sad....crying in the bathrooms, people standing with all their belongings in a box in the lobby, security everywhere. Not a day you want to see consultants walking around.
D3 I don’t see how dealing with people’s sadness and potential anger serves SM1 well when he’s got no responsibility in it
Will they know the layoffs are a direct action of your work?
Fair, just thought I’d ask. Good leadership will own the decisions and accept the hostility that comes with it, bad leadership won’t.
I hope your client is one of the good ones.
Had a client want us to act as security that day. Promptly said hell no
We actually can do that, but we subcontract it out to specialists in executive protection and the sort. I would never agree to do it with internal folks in no way trained for it.
Bluntly, this should have been figured out long before the layoffs occur as it is an integral part of the project. Whether you’re firing one person with a lot of tentacles in the company or a broader amount of folks, physical security needs to be a discussion item early on. If no one can provide that protection, you must go find someone who will.
I’ve stayed at hotels 45min+ away when that happens
Stay away. Was on a client site once when layoffs were announced (not related to our work). We knew something was coming but not the specifics, and safety of our folks was jeopardized as they worked alongside some of the folks who were cut, who were completely blindsided. By lunch we had relocated our entire team back to the hotel and our client sponsor apologized for not letting us know early AM before our folks commuted to the office.
This is a question for your project leadership. On my projects we've worked remote the whole week.
Project leadership apparently doesn’t have the skills or experience for this phase of the project.
What the hell? No.
Why on earth isn’t your leadership squashing that?
You aren’t necessary. Don’t be there
Layoffs are nothing compared to the wildcat strike I once encountered
Had a consultant on my team stuck in a work camp in Africa with the military keeping protesters back from the gates
Stay the F home lol
Like everyone says. Stay away! Even if your firm/work had nothing to do with the lay-off - the optics of you guys there will be bad - both to the people being let go and the people who remain. Depending on how bad the lay-off is, even afterwards you may want a period of time when you have a skeleton crew on-site while the rest of the team works remote.
Woah like how bad does it get for consultants to be concerned for their physical safety? Or is it just about avoiding dirty looks / yelling? My firm doesn’t do this kind of work so I’m genuinely curious
This was a helpful, well thought out response. Thank you.
